SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 672,324, dated April 16, 1901.

Application filed July 3, 1900. Serial No. 22,403. (No model.)

To ctZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES F. GOLD- BECK, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new.and useful Improvement in Coin-Wrapping Machines, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of a device for rolling or wrapping coin, the same embodying means for supporting and steadying the coin during the rolling or wrapping operation.

It also consists in adapting the device to coin of different denominations.

Figure 1 represents a perspective View of a coin rolling or Wrapping device embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a transverse vertical section thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a bed or base, on which are mounted the parallel rollers B B. Rising from the sides of said bed are the ears (3 (J, in which are recesses orslots D, the same being arranged one above the other, the opposite members being adapted to receive the fingers E, which are provided with recesses F, which engage the walls of the slots D, which they occupy.

The operation is as follows: A piece of paperor other suitable material is laid on the rollers B and the number of coin to be wrapped placed on said piece. The fingers E are now introduced through the ears 0 and pressed against the sides of the roll of the coin and locked with the ears, thus steadying the roll. The paper is then brought around the coin and rolled thereover by hand, while resting on the rollers B, removed from contact with the ears 0 and the fingers E, after which the ends of the Wrapping-piece is bent or folded down over the ends of the roll, the fingers E having been duly removed.

It will be seen that coin may thus be easily, quickly, uniformly, and firmly wrapped or rolled. It will also be seen that the fingers are adapted to steady or hold rolls of coin of different denominations, the slots F permitting the lateral adjustment of the fingers relative to the variations in the length of the rolls, while the slots D in the ears permit the vertical adjustment of the fingers, so as to properly center the latter on the end of the roll, the center, as is evident, varying with different diameters of coin.

It will be noticed that when the fingers are in position the recesses F thereon are at a right angle to the slots D. By this provision the fingers are so controlled on the ears. 0 as to be prevented from dropping or disengaging, it being evident that said fingers are introduced into the slots D to the required extent with their fiat sides parallel with the latter and then turned so that the walls of the recesses F ride over the walls of the slots D, this interlocking the fingers with the ears, as will be plainly shown in Fig. 1.

One of the rollers B is of greater diameter than the other and provides a shoulder or rise which prevents the roll of coin during the wrapping operation from escaping from the rollers, the latter rotating with said roll; but the pressure of the roll is exerted against said shoulder or rise as the hand performs the rolling operation.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A coin rolling or wrapping device consisting of rollers, a mounting therefor, and a steadying-finger, the latter being adapted to be supported over said rollers, and to bear against the end of a roll within the wrapping material.

2. A coin rolling or wrapping device consisting of rollers, a support for the same, and a finger on said support adapted to bear against the end of a roll of coin.

3. In a coin rolling or wrapping device, members for sustaining a roll of coin and a wrapper therefor, a steadying-piece adapted to bear against the roll of coin to steady the same, and means for vertically and laterally adjusting said steadying-piece.

4. In a coin rolling or wrapping device means for holding the coin while being wrapped, a piece adapted to bear against the end of a roll of coin to steady the same, asupport for said piece and means on said piece for laterally adjusting the same to rolls of coin of varying length.

5. In a coin rolling or wrapping device means for holding the coin while being wrapped, a piece adapted to bear against the end of a roll of coin to steady the same, and

a support for said piece adapted to permit the vertical adjustment of the same relatively to 5 diiferent centers of coin.

6. In a coin rolling or Wrapping device means for holding the coin While being Wrapped, a piece adapted to bear against the end of a roll of coin to steady the same, a sup- 1 port for said piece and means for vertically IO and laterally adjusting said piece relatively to different lengths of rolls of coin and difierent centers of coin.
